Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking bids for internal and external upgrade works on accommodation buildings following a site survey at Wretham and Bodney Camp, located in the East of England, United Kingdom. This procurement process is in the tender amendment stage, with tender submissions due by 28th May 2025, and the contract set to commence on 14th July 2025 and conclude by 22nd December 2025. The project falls under the construction work industry category (CPV: 45000000) and involves a series of upgrades, such as the installation of Positive Input Ventilation systems, external re-pointing/rendering, internal redecoration, and the installation of humidistats. Conducted under a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure, this tender aims for an estimated contract value of £1,400,000.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in construction, particularly those familiar with ventilation systems, rendering works, and building refurbishment. Companies that have experience dealing with military accommodation and similar operational facilities may find this tender especially rewarding, as it involves specialised requirements. Securing this contract could significantly enhance business growth prospects by establishing credibility and expanding the client base within public sector collaborations.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Internal and external upgrade works to accommodation buildings following site survey

Notice Description

Both Wretham and Bodney Camp are operational training facilities consisting of accommodation, kitchens and ablution buildings housing between 500-800 military personnel at any one time. Many of the accommodation buildings are circa 1950's Nissan style wriggly tin construction housing up to 10 men. Following the arrival of Operation Interflex and an unprecedented level of troops staying within the accommodation buildings, there has been an increased level of moisture through people and wet equipment creating unwanted issues within the buildings such as mould. A site survey was conducted in February 2024, which highlighted some of the issues, and remedial actions required to prevent/minimise reoccurring issues. A series of upgrade works to buildings across Bodney and Wretham Camp are to include;- - Installation of Positive Input Ventilation system (PIV) - External Re-point/Render works - Internal re-decoration - Humidistat Installation
